Bio:

Purple belt under Luke Docherty.

Elise started training at 4 years old. At 15, she became the youngest Australian female to podium at the IBJJF World Championships. Now 17, she’s an active competitor who’s been named one to watch by Flo Grappling, and she brings that same drive into the kids program every week.

She’s been in their shoes. She knows what it takes to stick with it, and how to make it fun enough that kids want to.

Every class is about building the fundamentals right, having fun doing it, and giving kids a place where they’re pushed to improve and genuinely supported while they do it.
